I read this quote today and totally loved it and totally agreed with it:

“Remember, the shadow is as important as the light.”~ Jane Eyre

Photography literally means to “write with light”. Every day I am learning more about light, more about shadows, and more about how just the right balance of the two makes for a beautiful portrait. I believe it will be a lifelong quest to perfect this balance. Lately, I’ve been wanting to spend a leisure evening at Barnes & Nobles to just look through books of the master artists who have perfected this balance of shadow and light.
